Makita 9031 Instruction Manual page 3

20. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
21. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
22. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
23. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

BELT SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, because the belt may contact its own
cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
2. Ventilate your work area adequately when you
perform sanding operations.
3. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
4. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are work-
ing with.
5. Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety
glasses.
6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
Make sure the belt is not contacting the work-
7.
piece before the switch is turned on.
8. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
9. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
10. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not
use water on the workpiece surface.

Service
24. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
25. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
26. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
